I think the idea is fantastic, it would be nice if the patterns were
public domain. You could ship motherboards to developing world and turn
the cardboard shipping boxes into cases. It keeps weight down in
shipping and doesn't cost as much in resources to make.

I'm sure it's technically possible to come up with a design easily enough.

I've always wanted to build a PC into a pizza box. Would probably have to be an Atom based PC though (or something low power like an Atom). I doubt a 6 core Phenom II would work be within the thermal requirements.
